PS 29 Community Makes $9,000 Donation of Goods to Housing Works

Despite the blistering onset Saturday of the current heat wave, Ariane Ben Eli impressively juggled PS 29's first foray into the world of the Flea Market -- managing five tables laden with generously donated items, not to mention juggling every aspect of setup, selling, taking down, transporting, and then finally donating $9,000 worth of items to Housing Works (plus more to the Salvation Army).

The PTA extends an enormous thank-you to Ariane for her herculean efforts and for taking the initiative to plan this event!!! Caroline Petersen, Frederick Fooy, Cricket and John Powell, and Ariane's little brother also merit special thanks for their extraordinary efforts and good nature in the wilting, shadeless heat of the schoolyard. Next time, folks, we need to rally more volunteers (on a cooler day!).
